Excerpt from The Great Resolve: An Essay on the European War and the Possible Settlements Thereof, In Two Parts, Patriotism and Devolution, the Solution Behold, in Europe, a great wave of patriotism in mid career. There are, at the same time, other phenomena, some correlative, some incongruous, - as, for example, a clash of industries and political ideals, a nation believing itself stifled and struggling for air, a religious revival with priests and warriors, shoulder to shoulder, bearing icons, there are also sluggards, skulkers and unwilling soldiers, a pistol nosing them in the back. But over and around these more or less familiar landmarks of an embattled plain presses a weighty flood whose final source, a long way back, lay in untilled valleys affording livelihood to the erect, if simple, denizens thereof - hence to be defended by them unitedly against all comers, until such time as growing numbers should compel excursions down into the unknown.
